Coming Home to Roost

The old adage that goes, "all chickens come home to roost," as you may know, usually means that you have to face the consequences of your mistakes. I'm not sure if that's what has happened at Golden Pines or not. But yesterday the owner of the five chicks that I was caring for last week (see my previous post) contacted me because she was unable to find anyone to take them after the BlogPaws conference and she asked if I would take them. Of course I agreed to take them back, and I picked them up last evening. Living in a farming community, I easily found a new home for all of them. They will be with us until Tuesday.

Little sweeties! (The chicks.) Glad they have homes. And Josh and Todd are big sweeties.. or i guess in Todd's case, a sort of middle sized sweetie. :) But nothing middle sized about his heart. I can tell. Have a great week!

If only you were my neighbor, because your the best! I went back and looked at the other post, and LOVE the pic of Todd and the feather. These pics of all of the dogs watching the chicks are just adorable.

Life at Golden Pines is wonderful, you are such a sweetie to take them back and find the chicks a good home.......YOU Rock Kim!!!!!! Have a great week, love the pictures of the dogs looking at the chicks, cute.....Blessings Francine.

Were these babies demonstration items? Poor little things. Your place is a chicken hostel. Those little babies will fine a new home in no time. (In response to another blog, I told my husband that chickens eat mice and lots of other stuff, and I think he may be softening at the idea of having them in the future. I'm not going to push my luck just now, tho.)

Your pictures say it all. If you would not have posted any thing but the pictures, I think us followers would have known exactly what you had posted. Todd is so cute. Gotta love that little guy. Good luck with the new owners. Ana

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! My dogs make the exact same face when I have chicks in the house. Right now my Flash gets that look when I'm snuggling with the gosling. Those chicks sure have grown quickly, haven't they? I'm glad you found homes for those five!www.dogtreatweb.com

you are just the best friend any kind of animal ever had!i love these pictures.you'll be happy to know they're picking up all the animals in the wreckage and treating their injuries and taking them to shelters so people can reunite with them. i'm so relieved. and i thought of you. xo

A Little About Me...

In 2007 my dream of living in the country and sharing it with senior Golden Retrievers came true when we moved to a small town in Northern Virginia into a home that would become 'Golden Pines.' Our lives are now filled with more rescued Goldens and Labs than I'll admit to, a Wheaten Terrier, a lively little Scottie named Todd, and one very tolerant cat and one that's not tolerant at all. This blog chronicles snippets of a life that has truly 'gone to the dogs!'
